NOT JUST FOR CHRISTIANS
4Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!
 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!
6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

7 So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons.
8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’”

10 So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.

Ezekiel 37:5-10

You don't have to be a christian to relate to this
We have dry bones in our lives.
Dreams un-achieved,
Talents faded,
Love lost,
Hopes Crushed,

For you to be successful you have to speak to the "dead" areas of your life, your dry bones.
Not just literally talking to it but making a move i.e breathing into the dry bones.

Now revitalization of crushed dreams or talents can be a hard strenuously depressive process.
You'd have to fight through it.
And getting back the inspiration and the courage to push forward is the hardest part. Once you get this done, you know you're on the right path.
This would take a lot of dedication, strategizing, restructuring and careful planning
Next,
Verse 8 of this chapter
"Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them"
I'd liken this to you having brilliant revolutionary ideas all in your head.
Just sitting in the corners of your room thinking of how you can change the world without leaving your bed.
This is an unrealistic approach.
Your brain has the ideas, (the flesh and muscles) but it's all nothing if you don't act on it (no life).

Learn to act on your ideas.
Be the solution to the problem people are facing.
Be the "light" in the darkness of NEPA
Be the "truthful" in this lying world
Be the "Good network" where there's empty-hen
Be the "Doctor" when NMA is on strike
Be the "prompt" when Arik delays their flight.. lol
On paw patrol a cartoon I watch very well. There's a regular quote
"No job is to big, no pup is too small "
For you.
"No dream is too big, no "You" is too small"(Funke-2015)

You are the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

End with this....
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life--think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success." (Swami Vivekananda)

Have an awesome day. God bless you.
